and contrary to your first reply, if the clutch grabs, then its not "time for a new one".
the only time you need to replace the clutch is if its slipping.
you said "i thought the stock clutch was nice.... it was nice and smooth i didnt see anything wrong with it"
How could it be a nice and smooth clutch, if you burned it out in 50k??? I learned stick on a 92 mazda protege on which i was the 3rd owner. It had 125,000 still on original clutch. I learned on that car and the clutch still lasted another 25 or 40K.
it just occured to me that someone who burned out a clutch shouldn't be talking about how nice and smooth the clutch is.... especially since you have no reference for comparison. whereas, i, on the other hand, used to work at a service station where i drove stick cars of basically every make under the sun.....and i can say based on that experience, the tc's clutch system (not necessarily the clutch disc itself, mind you) SUCKS.

1) did u burn out the clutches on all those other cars you "drove" too?
2) if you've got so much experience driving stick, how come you managed to burn out the tc's clutch so fast?
